I know its actually bad for our draft position, but I'd love to pass Cincy in the standings.

Cubs' plan for Rizzo is to play every other day

Friday's game is going to suck:

 

@BruceMiles2112: Edwin Jackson to start Friday with Jokisch as backup. #Cubs

 

@BruceMiles2112: Renteria said Alcantara had MRI on hand-wrist today; just sore. #Cubs

 

@MDGonzales: Alcantara had MRI on right hand, which is wrapped

Petition to make that Soler and Rizzo's days off as well to get all of the crap consolidated in one game.

Somebody needs to make a GIF of his reaction. It's even better because it was clearly a strike.

[TruffleShuffle]

billy hamilton against the cubs: 10 walks in 18 games

billy hamilton against the rest of baseball: 23 walks in 127 games

 

memo to cubs: stop walking him. he is a lousy hitter.

[ScrubMD]

You wouldn't want to throw him anything over the plate and risk him beating out an infield single.

[Guest]

So anything going on tonight?

[UMFan83]

So anything going on tonight?

 

Nothing worth mentioning
